- When this parameter is set,
- the server's standard output and standard error are redirected
- to the file <filename>postmaster.log</> within the data directory.
- There is no provision for rotating this file, so it will grow
- indefinitely unless server log output is redirected elsewhere
- by other settings. It is recommended that <varname>log_destination</>
- be set to <literal>syslog</> or that <varname>logging_collector</> be
- enabled when using this option. Even with those measures, errors
- reported early during startup may appear in
- <filename>postmaster.log</> rather than the normal log destination.
